So Canadian it hurts!100% hilarious. I'm constantly quoting @stats_canada to my twitter-illiterate friends and family, it's great to be able to share this book with them (but also tell them to buy their own).

Hilarious!I purchased this book knowing very litte about the back ground (such as the Twitter senesation). It blew my expectations. The "facts" are hilarious and based on enough truth to make them relatable! Every Canadian, fan of Canada or person planning a visit must read this!
